What are you watching tonight?

[coffeymagic]

Shit in the Attic, or something. Might see if I've any work emails in prference to watching this utter shite.

I must have told the story on here about when we moved into our house we found piles and piles and piles of copies of 'Bangkok Chick Boys' magazines and 'Animal Fun for Boys!' and Christ knows what.

The old fella who lived there before us was about 90.

My missus nearly did a backwards summersault through the wall when she opened the box with it all in.

Harder to dispose of than you'd imagine.

And 'no' she wouldn't let me keep any.

In a park near a secondary school if you've any sense of civic duty.

Today's generation wouldn't appreciate it. The internet has made it too easy for them.

Watched The Butler yesterday. Very good film with an all star cast. Slightly rushed I felt and could probably have benefitted from being a half hour longer but an enjoyable watch non the less. Some great cameo roles by Lenny Kravitz & Liev Schreiber (as LBJ) and Alan Rickman & Jane Fonda's Ronald & Nancy Reagan were spookily accurate.

7/10

[General Mannerheim]

Enjoyed The Butler but was disappointed to read it's very loose with he facts and is largely fiction.

Did you spot Mariah Carey!? ( didn't even think she was black btw!?)

Aye, it was a shame to discover it was fiction. Mariah Carey was a shock. Without wishing to be crude she couldn't even pass for what I imagine a mixed race woman would look like in the 1920s. Odd casting that

Mariah Carey is of mixed race. Her father is Afro-Venezuelan.

In the recycling bin surely? Couple of rainforests went into all them.

Well ... a lot of wood.

Saw Gravity on Friday night... it had its moments but it's been grossly overrated, including by several of you on here, in my opinion.

The clue's in the title really - it's worth going for a technical masterclass in filming weightlessness, and that's the focus, but that was it for me.

Mainly I thought the script was absolutely dreadful. Clooney and Bullock chatting like strangers on a bus... please. And I hate characters talking aloud when they're on their own, unless it's done really well.

And all this convenient floating around space with a fire extinguisher... really?

Oh, come on Mummy. Where's your romantic soul? And there's alway a fire extunguisher in every good movie; have you never watched Denzil Washington, Wesley Snipes, Bruce Willis....? Even Sandra Bullock had one..

[Annoyed Grunt]

Can't be arsed with X Factor or Sports Personality, so going to watch Identity Thief......yes, I know....it's going to be shite...

[Harry Genshaw]

Watched Tyrannosaur. Wow! Grim but great. Brilliant acting from the lass out of Peep Show (Olivia?). Add my name to the list of those that would recommend it

[jaffka]

Sam Bailey was the x-factor winner.

[General Mannerheim]

Sam Bailey was the x-factor winner.

Good for him. Apparently jungle has finished too.

Now it's my turn to take over the tv for a few weeks - darts!!

[mummywhycantieatcrayons]

I saw Saving Mr Banks last night.

It was really quite good and almost a tear-jerker, which I didn't expect!

The story about P.L. Travers is a good one that I didn't know, too.

[plymouth wanderer]

Me and the mrs watched The Hobbit yestardy evening - good film but it does't measure up to Lord Of The Rings IMO. Brilliant in 3D and HFR on the Extreme screen

Still, I'm looking forward to the 3rd one

I loved the film but as with the Butler, I was disappointed to learn how many truths were subject to sprinklings of Disney dust!

I thought, as incredible as Emma T is, the best thing about the film was Colin Farrell - And I didn't even know he was in it before I sat down to watch it.

Ah - I feared this might be the case.

Go on - what were the glaring examples? I suppose you'll be telling me that it wasn't on her flight invoice that Walt Disney found her real name and had his Eureka moment?!

Colin Farrell is good in it isn't he. I was actually slightly disappointed by Emma T - thought she coasted a bit really.

[General Mannerheim]

Well she hated it for a kick off, despised it, so the romanticised sobbing at the premier was a bit off. She also wasn't a snooty repressed loveless old wench - she was in fact much more contemporary, into acting, music and dance, she had a son, she had lovers of both sexes, and she a spoke with an Australian accent!
